The MOD has today launched the Red Tape Challenge, inviting families to tell us about processes that are getting in the way of them enjoying their homes, so that we can work to change them.

This is just one of a series of new pledges setting out clear commitments to Service families on the quality of their homes, customer service, and ensuring their voices are heard.

ABF The Soldiers Charity: Bungee Jump at Heaton Park Manchester - 4th October 2026

The event will take place at Heaton Park, Manchester, one of the largest municipal parks in Europe and home to the historic Heaton Hall. It's a fantastic venue and the perfect backdrop for an adrenaline-fuelled day.

This year, participants will be taking the plunge from a 300ft crane, which is quite a step up from the 180ft jump completed by some of our supporters earlier this year. The good news is that we're offering free places, and while our usual minimum fundraising target is £200, we're happy to reduce this to just £100.

Whether it's on someone's bucket list or they're simply keen to prove they're braver than their colleagues, it's a great opportunity to take on an unforgettable challenge while supporting The Army Benevolent Fund.
